If you’re planning a move for a new locum contract, the UK has widespread options for vibrant cities. Whether you’re looking for cutting-edge cool or welcoming northern charm, Manchester is a thriving city which has plenty of opportunities for a locum healthcare professional. Named the most liveable place in England for two years in a row, Manchester is a prideful city with a bustling restaurant scene, exceptional theatre and arts and two of the world’s largest football teams.
As a city still rapidly expanding and incredibly welcoming to internationals, there is a lot of potential just waiting to be tapped into. Manchester avoids the high living costs of many large UK cities like London, but maintains all of the benefits, and then some! Its nightlife boasts some of the biggest names in dance music and has something for everyone. Whether that be hipster bars in the Northern Quarter, the LGBTQ+ friendly village or the glamour of Spinningfields’s cocktail bars. Not to mention a music scene which launched world famous names such as The Smiths, Joy Division and Oasis.
With a cost of living 17% lower than London, Manchester is far more accessible with so much to offer. The average rent per month of a 1 bedroom apartment in the city centre is around £770. Compared to the average studio apartment in London coming in at an average of £1,000 per month, Manchester offers you more for your money. As a locum healthcare professional, you will find Manchester both incredibly accessible and affordable. Which only means that you will get to enjoy more of your hard-earned wages in this beautiful city.
Manchester University, established in 1824, is currently ranked 33rd in the world. Bringing in a constant stream of students and inspiring innovation within the city, Manchester University is one of Manchester’s biggest assets. For a locum healthcare professional, among other things, this means some of the greatest museums and galleries in the UK. The Whitworth was recently named museum of the year for its exceptional collections, exhibitions and projects.
Wherever you’re from, you’ve heard of Manchester United and Manchester City. Manchester is home to two of the world’s most well-known football teams. Which is exactly why it was named the sporting capital of the UK. Sports fans can visit either football ground or take a trip to the National Football Museum, housing six floors of football history.
